Table Plugin

• Behaviour can be specified for a specific table using %TABLE{...}% or with global preferences

Global Preferences

• Set DEBUG to on to get debug messages in data/debug.txt. Default: off
  • Set DEBUG = on
• Colour for header cells ('*'s around text). Default: #99CCCC
  • #Set HEADER_BG = red
• #Set DATA_BG = #C8CB8F,#DBDDB5
• Set DATA_BG = #FFFFCC,#FFFFFF
• #Set SORT = attachments
• Set SORT = all
• #Set SORT = none

• Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Control sorting and colours for table display

Sorting

Click on column heading text to sort by a column. Initial column will be sorted in descending order, click again to get ascending order. The type of data in the cell is determined automatically:

• date if format is:
  • dd MMM YYY - hh:mm
  • dd-MMM-YY or dd-MM-YYYY (can be / or space in place of -)
  • MMM is Jan, Feb, etc
• number is digits, with optional decimal point
• otherwise treated as text

Per table settings

On line before the table use %TABLE{...}%:

All default to the global setting

Examples

Line before table: %TABLE{sort="on" headerbg="#99CCCC" databg="#C8CB8F,#DBDDB5"}%
